Stalling While Climbing a Hill

Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could cause a rollover.

• Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.

• Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill. If ADC mode is not equipped, apply AWD mode before ascending or descending a hill.

If all forward speed is lost:

• Lean forward to keep body weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.

• Apply the brakes.

• Lock the parking brake when fully stopped.

• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.

• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the owner's manual.

If the ATV begins rolling downhill:

• Keep operator and passenger body weight uphill.

• Never apply engine power.

• Apply the brake lever gradually.

• When fully stopped, apply the auxiliary brake as well, and then lock the parking brake.

• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.

• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the owner's manual.
